Mere Complications

mere complications
is how I choose to see the situation
easily overcome
by walking away
or ignorance
bliss is no longer an option
factored out by reality
still can't blame a girl for trying

mere complications
the fact that you are too blind to see
or perhaps just foolish in your fickleness
lost in a sea of regret
moored to the past
stuck
empty
chasing an illusion
maybe it's worth the wait?

mere complications
same old, same old
attempting new trails
but all pathways led back to starting point
strike out
empty handed
but it can't last forever
this over-reaching

mere complications
nothing changes
but time
I move forward
and backwards
making ground
losing self
forever a battle of preservation

mere complications
thick and fast
weighting me down
finding their mark
but I refuse to remain a target
refuse to run aground
to stay complacent
I will attain freedom or die in the attempt
you can't blame a girl for trying
